"Korea National University" Edman, WS position competition advantage... Stanton is behind Ohtani

Tommy Edman, a former member of the Korean World Baseball Classic (WBC) national team who shone in the Championship Series (CS), dominated the World Series (WS, best out of seven) position competition.

Ahead of the Major League Baseball (MLB) WS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees, MLB.COM predicted the competition by position on the 24th (Korea time). While the Dodgers are generally dominant, Edman, who was selected as the National League CS Most Valuable Player (MVP) against the New York Mets, overpowered Yankees player Anthony Wolfie in the shortstop category.

"Yankeespan Wolfie from New Jersey has a history of participating in the Yankees' WS championship parade in 2009. (Growing up to become a member of the Yankees), he showed good performance in this postseason (PS) with a batting average of 0.310 and an on-base percentage of 0.459," MLB.COM said. "Edman was a clean-up trio with (superstar) Mookie Betts moving back to right field, Miguel Rojas leaving due to injury, filling in empty shortstop, and hitting 11 hits in 27 at-bats, one homer and three doubles in the NLCS. The sample is small, but we (MLB) choose this player."

Edman, whose mother is Korean, received great support from Korean baseball fans as he served as the starting second baseman of the Korean national team at the WBC held in March last year. He sat out the entire first half of this season due to injury, and moved to the Dodgers from the St. Louis Cardinals ahead of the trade deadline. Although he did not display good batting performance during the regular season, he was recognized as the No. 1 contributor to the Dodgers' advance to the WS through his performance in the PS.

Superstar Shohei Ohtani was superior to Giancarlo Stanton in the designated hitter category. MLB.COM noted that Stanton hit two home runs that changed the game and series in the American League (AL) CS against the Cleveland Guardians, but said it cannot help but put Ohtani, who joined the 50th (54 home runs)-50 (59 steals) club for the first time in MLB history, in the lead. It was also introduced that Ohtani showed outstanding clutch ability by recording 18 hits in 23 at-bats in the PS scoring zone. 스포츠토토

Aaron Judge, the home run king of the two major leagues, was considered superior in center field, Juan Soto was considered right fielder, Gleyber Torres was considered second baseman, Anthony Rizzo was first baseman, and Garrett Cole was considered starting pitcher. The Dodgers were recognized for their better performance than the Yankees in the bullpen, including Edman and Ohtani, catcher (Will Smith), third baseman (Max Muncy), left fielder (Teosca Hernandez).
